Ninjas in Pyjamas vs. EnVyUs Predictions

Damn, so many hard matches, this time we have ENVYUS and NiP on dust2, both teams played a couple of matches on this map recently, NiP got wrecked by Virtus.pro and dignitas, while ENVYUS lost against dignitas and beat HellRaisers in a really weird match, they went 13-2 on the first half and barely won the map 16-14. Both teams used to be great on dust2 but don’t seem to be that good anymore on it, I remember when NiP used to be like literally one of the best teams on that map, really weird to see them play so bad right now, especially because of their amazing run in the previous season.

So yea this match is almost unpredictable, luckily NBK just tweeted that DEVIL is having some issues with his connection and they will use SIXER instead, I pretty much never bet on teams with stand ins, and since this match is 50-50 I’d rather go with NiP here.

The maps today are the same 2 ones that NiP played yesterday against Dignitas. They looked really good on Nuke and really poor on D2. Envy have also looked pretty poor on D2 recently and had an incredibly poor T side last time they played it. They did also look good on Nuke though, and totally demolished G2 on the map just a few days ago. The key thing to note today is, DEV1L is not playing. S1X3R is playing, who some of you might remember from Millennium, but he is also a really old school player, who has an awful lot of experience and I think there is more to this move than it seems right now. Envy have a good chance on both maps, but with a new player today, and their practice being limited lately, I would suggest either SKIPPING or going REALLY LOW on NiP to take both.
